A Designers Dream CMS

Hmm... can you make something that reads my mind and pulls content out for my blog? I've got all these ideas but not enough time (or sometimes energy), but if your software could just automagically

Code:

fopen($dereks_brain, IGNORE_SCARY_STUFF);

Well, you'd have a convert

I think you'll need to decide who your audience is. If you're targetting devs, then I think you'll find the "help when I want help then get the hell out of my way" answers, but if you're targetting, say... harlequin romance novel writers, well, ease of use and minimal features are probably the way to go.

In any event, proven security, speed, and flexibility make my list, as well as professional support, a strong community, a dedicated development staff (even if that "staff" is one person). These are the things I look for.
